"The Good Wife" introduced the world to Therese Dodd, one very obnoxious comedienne in "Anatomy of a Joke." Christina Ricci turned in a fine performance as Therese, but there was more slight story progress than interesting material.

I mean we already know that ultimately, this relationship will fail. But at least by the end of previous seasons, we had hope.

Because so many loose ends were tied up at the end of last season, Season 3 is something of a reboot, featuring all the familiar character dynamics to satisfy existing fans, but also demonstrating a concerted effort to reintroduce all of the players.

The second episode of "Once Upon a Time" Season 2, had a lot more breathing room than the premiere, resulting in an hour that emphasized what the show does best: compelling backstory, fascinating character interplay, and a lot of secrets still to be revealed.
